LED backlighting in LCDs is the new 1080p—what everyone wants, but usually too damn expensive for the average person. Vizio's VF551XVT is 55 inches of LED-backlit glory with 240Hz for $2000.

By comparison, Samsung's 57-inch LED set fetches about $4000. Supposedly, the LED backlighting gives the VF551XVT a dynamic contrast ratio of 1,000,000:1. It was noticeably contrastier than its current CCFL-backlit VF550XVT, with darker, more detailed blacks. The gaudy gold and red bar thankfully might not make it to the final.

Vizio's other new XVT sets—47-inch SV471XVT and 42-inch SV421XVT—don't pack LED backlighting, but do have 240Hz, and are $1400 and $1100, respectively. And all three have an integrated soundbar with SRS TruSurround HD. We'll see all of them this summer.
